The next day, at eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Ziyu called Zhou Qiang, and after greetings, he asked, "Is my brother at home?" I'm going to pick you up? ”

"Oh yes! I am home. Zhou Qiang replied, "It's really troublesome to lead." ”

"It's fine." Zhang Ziyu said, "I'll come over for a few minutes, you go downstairs and wait for me." ”

"Good leader." Zhou Qiang said, "You come and pick me up, and we will go directly to the riverside villa area in Jiangzhong, and we won't go to the hospital." ”

"Why?" Zhang Ziyu was puzzled, "Didn't you say that you would go to the hospital first?" ”

"Don't go to the hospital!" Zhou Qiang said, "Anyway, the hospital can't find out the situation, so I let them go home." Waiting for us at home. They should have gone home by now. ”

"What?!" Zhang Ziyu frowned when he heard this, and asked, "How can you let people out of the hospital?" ”

"It's convenient at home!" Zhou Qiang gave a reason, "If you are in the hospital, you can't lead it...... Exorcism, right? ”

Zhang Ziyu scolded directly: "You fuck...... Fool around! ”

If Xu Wei is really sick, not a ghost, then doesn't this delay other people's treatment?

"I'll pick you up!" As he spoke, he hung up the phone and ran outside, and said to Ling Shijian, "I'll go first, you follow closely." ”

"Wait a minute!" Ling Shijian shouted at him to stop, took out a folded talisman from the pocket of his tracksuit, handed it to him, and said, "Ghosts are good at creating illusions and affecting people's hearing and hearing. If you have an accident and fall into a fantasy at that time, you can use this messenger to contact me. ”

"Good!" Zhang Ziyu took the talisman, put it in his pocket, and hurriedly ran downstairs.

Driving to Xinyuan Community and receiving Zhou Qiang, Zhang Ziyu wanted to scold and stopped, only glaring at Zhou Qiang fiercely. After all, the matter has come to this point, so I have to determine Xu Wei's situation as soon as possible to see if he needs to be sent to the hospital.

He drove as fast as he could, and at half past twelve in the afternoon, he came to the riverside villa area in Jiangzhong District...... Outside.

Xu Wei's family is indeed as Zhou Qiang said, very rich, and lives in a villa.

But...... Approximately just ordinary rich. And not super rich, or rich and powerful.

Because this villa of hers is not in the riverside villa area, but outside the riverside villa area, next to it. Turn right from the gate of the riverside villa area, and it will take two or three minutes to drive.

said that he lived in the riverside villa area, but in fact, it was just the name of a riverside villa area.

Of course, then again, being able to have a villa in Jiangzhong District, whether it is in the riverside villa area or not, is already very strong.

What's more, this villa in front of me is quite distinctive.

It is a Chinese-style villa, more like a yard, a garden.

Zhang Ziyu took the sword, opened the door and got out of the car, and looked around with a calm face.

Although the riverside villa area is in the middle of the river, it is still a villa area or a riverside, so the villa area is still some distance from the city.

And Zhou Qiang's cousin's villa is a few minutes away from the riverside villa area, so the location here is actually quite remote.

On the good side, the surrounding birds and flowers are fragrant, the trees are shady, the back is against the mountain, the front is facing the water, the environment is beautiful, fresh and natural.

Just where Zhang Ziyu parked, there was also a locust tree with a thick sea bowl, and the leaves of the locust tree fell to the ground in front of the door.

Accidentally, Zhang Ziyu thought that he had gone to a rural area to build his own house.

Because there is such an environment in a modern city, it is a little inconsistent.

However, the wall and gate in front reminded him that this was not an ordinary house.

The bluestone fence more than two meters high firmly encloses the villa, so that others cannot see the scene inside; Directly opposite, on the steps, there is a pair of majestic stone lions, half a human height, guarding the left and right; Further on, there is a vermilion gate.

This door is nailed with eighteen yellow copper nails, including a pair of black-brown tiger head door buckles.

Antique, quite majestic.

It's just that I don't know if Zhang Ziyu remembered it wrongly, he remembered that the system, color and copper nails of the ancient gate were all regulated, and who used what door. This kind of door in front of me is afraid that it can only be used by four or five high-ranking officials.

Also, planting locust trees in front of your house doesn't seem to be an auspicious thing.

Of course, the modern man doesn't have to care about the ancients, he just feels strange.

While he was holding his sword and looking around, Zhou Qiang was calling his brother-in-law to come out and open the door.

About the brother-in-law estimated the time, Zhou Qiang had just hung up the phone, and the vermilion door in front of him opened with a "squeak".

Then came out of it a middle-aged man about forty years old, medium height, wearing a brand-name suit, his hair was wiped back, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he was an uncle who loved beauty.

He walked out of the door and saw Zhou Qiang and Zhang Ziyu holding a sword, a professional smile appeared on his face, he started with laughter, and said to Zhang Ziyu: "Hahaha...... Presumably this is the Master Zhang that my brother-in-law said, right? Long looking up, long looking, in the lower stone. ”

Zhang Ziyu looked at Shi An, obviously this person was well-dressed and elegantly behaved, but he gave him an uncomfortable feeling.

Is it a, a fake feeling?

Is it because of his professional smirk?

But he didn't think deeply at this time, and said to Shi An: "Hello, I'm Zhang Ziyu. ”

"Hello, hello."

After a few simple greetings between the two sides, Shi An led the two into the courtyard.

"Master Zhang, please, come in for lunch first. I'll talk about catching ghosts later, it's not a little while. He said.

Zhang Ziyu shook his head: "Don't be in a hurry to eat in advance, let me go and see the situation first." In case it's not a ghost's problem, you might as well go back to the hospital as soon as possible. ”

Shi An was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect Zhang Ziyu, a magic stick, to be so sincere and believe in modern medicine, but he quickly laughed again: "It's all good, listen to the master's arrangement." ”

Then he gestured again to signal Zhang Ziyu to enter the hospital.

In this way, Zhang Ziyu didn't say much, took the sword to his left hand, and walked away.

The blue bricks and red tiles, and the vermilion gate, are obviously the configuration of large families in ancient times, but when he got closer, he felt that something was wrong.

But he couldn't see anything wrong, so he frowned secretly, slowed down, and slowly walked towards the door.

Walking up the steps, over the stone lion, and before coming to the gate, although he was not fast, he walked under the vermilion gate.

The threshold in front of him was high, up to his knees. Looking up, there is no shadow wall behind the door, and you can directly see the lawn, trees, flowers, rockeries and ponds in the yard, which is a beautiful garden scene.

There's nothing wrong with that.

He hesitated, lifted his foot, and stepped over the high threshold.

The front foot lands on the ground and the back foot is on the heel.

"Da, da" twice, as if it was your own footsteps.

At this moment, he felt as if he had crossed a membrane, and the whole world darkened.

Standing on the stone steps, he looked up, there was still a sun in the sky, there were still clouds, and there was still a sky, but for some reason, the sun seemed to have no temperature, the clouds were not white, and the sky was not blue.

Looking ahead, there was a lawn in front of him, and at this time it was autumn, and the grass was deep and yellow, revealing a smell of decay;

Further on, there is a flower garden behind the lawn, which has all kinds of autumn flowers, and there are trees behind the flower garden, but these originally bright flowers and trees have probably lost their color due to autumn;

Flowers and trees used to be rockeries; Behind the rockery, there is a small bridge and flowing water, like a pond; After crossing the small bridge, there is a moon gate, behind the moon gate, between the shadows of the trees, there is an antique ancient building.

The building is blue bricks and ancient tiles, carved railings and paintings, and the eaves are warped, specially, in the place of the cornices, facing the two corners of this side, a monkey holding a demon pestle, and a cow wearing scale armor.

Looking at all this, Zhang Ziyu felt as if he had arrived in ancient times, and that vermilion gate was the bridge connecting the modern and the ancient.

"That's good!" He said aloud, "The Suzhou garden written in the textbook is probably like this. ”

"The master is overrated. It's just a matter of putting a little more thought into the renovation. Shi An walked in, behind him, and said with a smile, "The master will definitely have such a villa in the future." ”

"I don't have such a high level of aesthetic attainment." Zhang Ziyu shook his head, "I don't have that much money." ”

"Hehe, there will be money. Actually, it's not expensive. Shi An said with a smile.

"Master go this way......" he continued to lead the way, "over the bridge." ”

"Okay."

Zhang Ziyu nodded, walked forward, took two steps, went down the stone steps, raised his feet, fell, and stepped on the lawn.

The soft lawn is elastic, stepping on it, light and fluttering, with a unique sense of comfort, so at this moment, he suddenly remembered one thing.

Yesterday, when he discussed today's plan of action with Ling Shijian, what he said was that those who arrived first would wait for those who arrived later to arrive before making the next move.

In other words, according to the plan, he needed to wait for Lingshi Sword to hide in the shadows and send him a message before he should enter the villa.

But why, did he come to the villa for some reason?

The front foot was on the lawn, and the back foot was on the stone steps, he looked back and saw Zhou Qiang, who was walking last, closing the vermilion gate.

The blue autumn sky outside, the old locust tree in the sun, and his car under the old locust tree, were all closed out by the gate.

He chuckled unconsciously in his heart, always feeling that the connection between ancient and modern times was cut off.

He remembered that it was Zhou Qiang, it was Zhou Qiang who said that Xu Wei was taken home, and he was worried that Xu Wei was actually sick, delayed treatment, and his life was at stake, so he rushed over in a hurry.

In a hurry, even if something seemed wrong, he didn't think too much, and as soon as Shi An asked, he naturally walked in.

But......

He looked up at the gray, temperatureless sun in the sky.

What if there are ghosts?

He looked back at Zhou Qiang again.

What if it's really a trap for the paper man?

Is he going to give it for nothing?

"Master?"

Shi An, who was on the side, saw him stunned for a while, and called out loudly.

Zhang Ziyu came back to his senses, tightened the sword in his hand, nodded to Shi An again, and walked down the steps.

He prayed in his heart: "Shijian, Shijian, you must be faster!" ”
